Since early yesterday morning, we have been in shock over the Russian government's decision to invade Ukraine. 24 February 2022 marks a sad day in history – with an extended war in Europe and a violent attack on a democracy which should have been unthinkable. This act will now lead to great suffering and incalculable consequences.

As Dean of LTH, I would like to express my dismay at what is happening, and I would like to send a special message to our students affected by the attack on Ukraine.

I hope we can help and care for each other in these troubled times, and be resolute together.

To our international students who are affected by the war, I would like to remind you of the following available resources:

• Student Health Centre (Lund University's website)
• The University's Multifaith Chaplaincy (Studentprästerna)
• The International Desk at Lund University

Take good care of yourselves.

Annika Olsson

Dean of LTH
